By Brian Salvatore | Apr 23, 2015 | Reviews

As we lurch towards the finale of Arrow season 3, a few big questions remain.

“’68: Bad Sign” Mixes Zodiac Killer Psychosis With Zombie Violence [Review]

By James Johnston | Apr 17, 2015 | Reviews

The Zodiac Killer is arguably one of the great modern-day boogeymen.

Pick of the Week: “The Tithe” #1 Takes an Irreverent Pop at the Economics of Religion [Review]

By Stephenson Ardern-Sodje | Apr 16, 2015 | Reviews

From its first pre-page announcement, a fact about a real-life televangelist being convicted of embezzlement and subsequently being let out of jail and welcomed back onto television, it’s pretty obvious that “The Tithe” is going to be a comic book that asks some uncomfortable questions. Written by Matt Hawkins Illustrated by Rahsan Ekedel A heist […]

Five Thoughts on Arrow’s “Broken Arrow” [Review]

By Brian Salvatore | Apr 16, 2015 | Reviews

Be warned, major spoilers follow! 1. Finally, a Good Role for Roy Roy has been a character that has always been much better in theory than in practice on this show, as evidenced by Colton Haynes, at times, taking lessons from the Keanu Reeves school of acting.

Five Thoughts on The Flash’s “All-Star Team-Up” [Review]

By Alice W. Castle | Apr 11, 2015 | Reviews
